KEY FACTS The Woodcracker ® CL is also attachable to farm loaders.

• Various mounting options (eg. excavator, farm loader).
• Due to low net weight, mountable to farm loaders,
telehandlers or wheel loaders.
• Proper and simple connection at the headstock with
ideal mounting angle.
• Protected and generously sized hydraulic piping.
• Robust and proven technology –
Low-wear and low-service.
• KTL-primed (cathodic dip-coating) and powder coating.
Made of high-strength Hardox ® steel.
The fast and agile Woodcracker ® CL cutting head
is a reliable companion, and not only in agricultural
applications. Professional gardeners, forest managers,
but also communal organisations already have the
Woodcracker ® CL in permanent use. Thanks to flexible
and easy mounting to commong vehicles, small
trees and brush up to 40 cm trunk diameter can be
mechanically harvested with ease.
Caution: Woodcracker ® CL is not suitable for
dangerous tree felling. Secure grip of cut material can
not be guaranteed. In this case we recommend our
Woodcracker ® C- or CS series.

The saw box has a swinging chassis

Spring-mounted saw box prevents the saw blade
from bending due to force acting on it.

KEY FACTS 1) Thanks to the automatic chain tensioner,

the chain has always the right tension.

• Suitable for every standard excavator.
• The rigid mounting of the Woodcracker ® CS to the excavator
makes it possible to withdraw parts of the tree vertically
from its setting. In this way, trees or objects nearby are not
damaged.
• Grease lubrication does not cause oil fogging and
lubricates the chain in any position.
• Removable guide bracket.
Regardless of whether the machine has just started or has
been operating for several hours. This means that the working
process is not interrupted by a chain coming off.
2) As the work area is not just at ground height,
but at higher levels, grease is used for chain
lubrication.
Compared to oil lubrication, this avoids oil misting, which would
cause contamination of the driver's cab, and especially the
windscreen. The grease stays on the chain far longer and is
therefore also more economically and longer lasting.

• Automatic lubrication system for Tiltator.

• Ideal transport position for a safe transport. OPTIONS

• Robust and long-lasting, low-wear and low-service. • 3 different mounting options.
